Biden's written answers on classified documents released publicly

President Joe Biden's written answers to questions from Special Counsel Robert Hur have been made public. These answers address Biden's handling of classified documents found at his homes and his office. The documents were released after a long delay, as it often takes years to get responses to Freedom of Information Act requests. Biden's answers were prepared in April 2023, with legal assistance. They reveal issues surrounding Biden's claims about sharing classified information with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer. The investigation into Biden's classified documents was considered less aggressive than the inquiries into former President Donald Trump. Searches at Biden's properties were conducted without FBI oversight. One major concern is that Biden allegedly lied to Special Counsel Hur during interviews. The written answers are seen as more thoughtful than his previous, more disorganized statements. Some statements made by Biden have been questioned, such as his claims about not knowing classified documents were in his garage and his denial of sharing marked documents with Zwonitzer. Critics note that Biden's handling of classified materials could be viewed as improper. Despite the resolution of this matter, the political fallout for Biden remains significant. The publication of his answers highlights ongoing challenges in transparency and accountability within government processes.
